The last couple of years I have done the RunDisney...one being the half and the second being the Goofy I have seen Santa Clause. In fact, he handed out a Santa coin to my brother in mid race...and I know he does the half but I think I saw him in the full too!

Has anyone else witnessed Santa in the Run Disney? He will be the one with the white beard and red hat...you know what he looks like.

Yes! He plans to do the Dopey.
 
Do you know him? Did you see him in past races? Hmm..
I remember my brother had told me that he saw Santa in a Disney race and I laughed and laughed...until I witness seeing him myself.

I am very glad to know Santa is keeping in shape. I am surprised he has the strength to run anything...let alone a Dopey (and are you guessing on this or you just KNOW) after his trip around the world.

Yes, I know him (the coin thing gave it away). He runs in my local area and we usually have a post-Disney marathon group dinner. As you might expect with Santa, he is very active in working with charities, in addition to his Santa activities!
 

I am glad to hear he is keeping active after a busy Christmas season...my goodness what with all the traveling and the reindeer and all!

I know I had seen him the half one year and I thought I saw him in the full but I also thought I saw him in the 5k last year...

Good for Santa and his charitable work! Tell him I am looking forward to seeing him again!

I sent Santa Steve an e-mail with a link to this thread, so I'm sure he'll put you on the good kids list this year. There's a nice story about him in the 2012 Marine Corps Marathon magazine, which you can find by googling. (I couldn't post a link to it because I don't have the requisite number of posts on my own yet.)
 
Thanks for that link and what a great story! :banana::woohoo: How old is Santa now?


Meanwhile my friend wanted to know what coral he will be in?...She is hoping to see him or run along side him for a moment or two! I am sure she will see him and he is probably somewhere in the latter half of the corals..only because that's where I am and I have seen him.

I think his story would be a nice story to share with RunDisney too... I know I received an email from RD about telling your story and why you run...I don't have a story to tell that's any different from anyone elses but his might be different.
